any specific reason you get stuck to vlc 0.8, while version 1 and beyond has been released a good while ago!?

Yes.. It's the latest version that has been compiled for 4.2..
Other compiles (from dpup, for example) need a newer glibc, which is not found in most puppies..

I used this one because I didn't have all the DEV files (or the desire to find them) required to compile my own, updated version..

What exactly is better about the later versions? I'd be very happy with 0.8.6 if it was compiled with just a few more codecs supported (so we have working .rm, .rmvb, .m4a etc)_________________Akita Linux, VLC-GTK, Pup Search, Pup File Search

Is this version compiled without m4a support? I am afraid I don't know enough about these things to tell but apparently there is some bug in VLC which prevents playback of m4a even if it should be able to. Could that be the situation here?
